Long-time reader Tony Hanson perceptively notes a contradiction in the Obama administration's attitude toward their poor minority clients:<\/span><\/p>\n

As I read about the complexity and nightmares (or as Obama prefers, glitches) of the  ACA [Affordable Care Act] marketplace roll out today, I am reminded of your posts on Voter ID. Apparently the condescension of Obama and the Dems is very selective. They think requiring poor minorities to have the wherewithal to accomplish the relatively simple task of securing an ID card is just too difficult a task for them and therefore discriminatory; at the same time the success of the new healthcare law requires them to navigate (using a computer and internet connection mostly)  a rather complex system<\/a> of web sites, information and rules.<\/span><\/p>\n

And while the Feds will spend millions upon millions to provide them help, it apparently cannot provide a tiny fraction of this amount to help them get IDs (if in fact they really need this help)  and thereby secure the integrity of the voting system and democracy itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

'Selective condescension' is an apt phrase.  Blacks and other minorities are thought to be too bereft of basic life skills to secure government-issued photo ID, which is free in many states, but are nonetheless expected to be computer-savvy enough to sign up for ObamaCare.  But if this contradiction were pointed out to Obama or the liberals that support him, it wouldn't faze them in the least.  For they care about logical consistency as little as they care about truth.  For a leftist it's all about power and nothing else.  They have no bourgeois scruples about truth or the rule of law.  The end justifies the means.<\/span><\/p>\n

The plain truth of the matter is that Dems oppose photo ID because they want to make polling places safe for voter fraud. <\/em> This is a harsh allegation but one that is perfectly justified given the utter worthlessness of the 'arguments' brought forth against photo ID.  But I have said enough about this depressing topic in ealier posts, some of which are listed below.<\/span><\/p>\n

If one has demonstrated that one's opponent's arguments are worthless, it is legitimate to psychologize him.  For motives abound where reasons are nonexistent.<\/span><\/p>\n
